KEY FEATURES
- Frantic and Fun — Rule the city through lightning-fast multiplayer matches featuring mind-blowing dodgeball mechanics. Increase your attack by passing to power up dodgeballs, targeting your opponents with a variety of specialized balls or “balling up” at any time to get thrown by teammates.
- Crew Up — Assemble an all-star dodgeball Crew with your friends for multiplayer matches in a seamless cross-play experience. Together, knock out opponents in 3v3, 4v4 or free-for-all matches. Pass, throw and strategize as a team to dominate and unlock distinctive, Crew-only rewards.

Dodgeball thrives in back alleys with pneumatic tubes, on skyscraper rooftops, across busy streets and even at the local burger joint and construction sites. While you’re dodging dodgeballs, watch out for moving cars, rooftop drops, and even a wrecking ball or two.
- Strikingly Fresh Yet Familiar — It’s easy to pick up and play thanks to familiar controls, but practice is key to becoming a champion. On a level playing field, only the most skilled ballers stand out from the crowd. Use your knowledge to master the intricacies of the game for spectacular KOs.
